Guillaume Tell as an opener of the new season

No prophet is accepted in his own country is an old biblical saying. Sébastien Rouland’s career seems to prove this as far as his past season is concerned: Germany beats France 3:2! Germany: Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno, Die Zauberflöte (Berlin State Opera), Almira (Hamburg State Opera); France: Monsieur Beaucaire (Opéra Comique de Paris), The Land of Smiles (Opéra de Tours).

Right at the beginning of the new season Germany scores once again: The newly appointed managing-director of the Saarbrücken Theatre invited Sébastien Rouland to conduct a challenging masterpiece of the Grand Opéra for the opening of his first season: Guillaume Tell by Gioachino Rossini. Opening-night on September 10, 2017.
